The road to Ballarat, a ghost town in Inyo County, California that started in 1896 as a supply point for mines in the Panamints Range.

The infamous Charlie Manson put Ballarat on the map when he was found hiding under the bathroom sink at the Barker Ranch in the rugged hills outside of town. Today the single full-time resident / caretaker boasts about having a Dodge Parker Wagon that Manson once owned.
